75/100

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Frankfurter Kunstverein is a small, established cultural institution based in Germany, focusing on contemporary art exhibitions and cultural events. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with multilingual support, targeting art enthusiasts and the local community. The technical infrastructure includes modern JavaScript libraries and Google services, with a cookie consent mechanism implemented via Cookiebot. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and consent-based tracking, but lacks explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security headers. No contact or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and user trust. Overall, the site is accessible and safe, with room for improvement in privacy and security disclosures.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization operates as a non-profit art association, serving a niche audience interested in contemporary art and culture. Its business model revolves around exhibitions and educational programs rather than commercial sales. The website reflects a consistent brand and good content quality, but lacks detailed business contact information and formal policies. The use of multilingual plugins suggests an intent to reach a broader audience. The absence of partner or subsidiary domains indicates a focused, standalone operation. The integration of Google Analytics and Cookiebot shows awareness of digital marketing and privacy compliance, albeit incomplete.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, which is a gap in security readiness. The use of up-to-date WordPress plugins and libraries is assumed but not verified. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update all CMS components and plugins to mitigate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with multilingual support via WPML, using common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Moment.js. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking, with Cookiebot managing cookie consent. The site loads external resources from reputable domains and uses HTTPS. Performance is moderate with caching plugins indicated by minified CSS files. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. The technical stack is standard for cultural institution websites, with opportunities to improve security headers and privacy disclosures.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
